IAMe - It's Not Always Pretty lyrics

This the difference since the beginning
But, I get it where I fit in
Sandpeople, Oldominion
Sitting on top like a fitted rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in

Yea, alright, here we go, here we go
I go in quite hard when I start the show
Mosh the stage, stomping faces
This a daily operation
And my motivation is not my wages
My aim is where Bill Gates lives
I'm saying let's raid his mansion
Throw a party
Light it up like streets of Vegas
That'd be funny like Jay-Z singing Oasis
(I'm so amazing)
I should write a jingle for the NBA (Nah)
Get off my Chamberlain and let me play
I'm not quite Jordan in his heyday
More like circa '87, '88 but a mainstay


Naysayers give a fuck Lame say
Lame don't give a fuck what they say
Or you say
Like Gary Busey, Lame's a psychopath
Douse you in butane and then I strike a match

This the difference since the beginning
But, I get it where I fit in
Sandpeople, Oldominion
Sitting on top like a fitted rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in
And since the beginning I
Kept this independent
I keep what's worth defending
Sitting on top like a fitted rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in

Uh, alright, here we go, here we go
I go in just as hard as I did before
And when I say hard
I don't mean it's difficult it's easy, fried
Greasy, slide
Off the bone, slide in like home
Smooth like Irish Whiskey
Fuck a shot of Patron
You know Lame is sipping Jameson
Wish I could fill up an IV bag
Inject my veins with it
'Til that day, a half gallon's on my rider
And a small price to pay for the
Talent I provide a venue with
Smoke clouds fill up the room
But don't ventilate i pause, inhale, resume
Now I'm loose like something escaped
Out of the zoo (Lame's an animal)
You need a few horse tranquillizers to
(Slow me down) like Frank the Tank in Old
School when he drowned
Lame's a fool and a clown

This the difference since the beginning
But, I get it where I fit in
Sandpeople, Oldominion
Sitting on top like a fitted rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in
And since the beginning I
Kept this independent
I keep what's worth defending
Sitting on top like a fitted rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in

Yea, alright, here we go
Nah, if you don't get it by now, man
You'll never know for all the dead rappers
I'll let my liquor pour
Then I'll sip some more
Fuck growing old and taking Lipitor
I'm from the city where the
Hipsters from other cities go
And wear the skinny jeans
But I don't really get it though
Maybe it's because I don't fit in those
I'm different
Only time I fit in is when it's in a ho
But don't take offense to that 'cause
I don't mean no harm
I'm just trying to stay Phat
Like Russell Simmons' farm
Wanna keep in contact? Fuck a business card
All my info's on this package, it's no CDr
H&R, bitch, I'm in charge
Don't disrespect the conglomerate, we large
Globalized economy, we stimulate
Sandpeeps, Oldominion, independent train

This the difference since the beginning
But, I get it where I fit in
Sandpeople, Oldominion
Sitting on top like a fitted rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in
And since the beginning I
Kept this independent
I keep what's worth defending
Sitting on top like a fitted rep Thorn City
It's not always pretty, but I get it in

I am who I'm gon' be, um

What you do
Is what the whole universe is doing
At the place you call here and now
